FMP - Week 4

Okay, so this was the first week back in classes - not a bad thing at all, it helps me structure my time a bit better. In Vis com, and project work, I'm pretty much just working on more research along side my 2D work, and I've been thinking about actually adding some digital 3D modelling to the project, but it means doing a refresher course on old skills. I'm kind of looking forward to it.

Ceramics, again I've been working very much on getting my Marquette's sorted out. I'll tell you now, modelling a human face, barely the size of a two pence coin is not easy. Especially eyes - to the point where I've decided I'll have to paint those on. However, hair is surprisingly easy to do - just cut into triangles, rake a knife lightly down it and attach in small segmented layers. Easy enough.

The armor for my Marquette's however has been put on hold until I can finish the clay models - purely for the reason that I need to finalize the designs and I need to get the specific measurements in order for this to work right.



NOTE: I just found out I can't really solder aluminium, and the copper trials that I made for the armour look bad, so I wont be using metal on them.
